Steve,

Please add one more item to your open issues list - support for 15 and/or 16
byte Netbios Names.

This RIGlet needs to discuss:

-       whether we support both lengths configurably or both concurrently.
-       how 'related' Name Query requests for 15-byte names are passed across
        the SSP interface during, for example, a Lanman logon sequence, and how
        circuit IDs are used in this scenario.
-       what information may be required on the capabilities exchange for
        most efficient interoperation.

Our concern on this issue is to ensure interoperable handling of Netbios names
and to minimise the WAN bandwidth used for Name Query requests.

I will post a more detailed note for discussion on this subject early next
week, but, for now, please take this mail as a 'place marker' on the open
issues list.
